Sitting in an almost empty bus. Another passenger, a man, gets up from his seat and sits next to me. There are empty seats available. He presses his thighs against mine and tries to make eye contact. I avoid his gaze. He sits like that for the entire journey. I cannot move. Horrible.

This happened the day before spring break, before I found this site, and I feel terrible for not saying something. I’m new at my school, so I don’t get a lot of attention, which is a good thing. I was sitting next to this girl, looking out the window, minding my own business, when I … Continued
